arkos VS distribution

Are you running the last official ArkOS release for RG351P/M (released in May 2021), or WuMMLe's ArkOS Fork (updated in March or April 2023)? The fork might be worth a try, if you're still on the official release, as WuMMLe has continued to provide core and emulator updates, as well as apply certain fixes from more recent ArkOS builds to 351P/M devices. Maybe a fix for your issue was included at some point? Changelogs here.

They are 2 versions or Arkos. - The one from "christianhaitian/arkos" stopped development for the 351 m/p series. - The most up to date version of Arkos is the one forked by https://github.com/wummle/arkos/wiki.

I will still be doing periodic updates to my fork of Arkos https://github.com/wummle/arkos for the RG351M or P probably mostly updated versions of retroarch ppsspp etc but if i see anything else worthwhile i will try and add it.

You have several options for your RG351P, JELOS, Wummle's ArkOS fork, AmberELEC, and TheRA all support this device. Getting your firmware all set up isn't that difficult, just need to know how to use one the various flash tools.

ArkOS is still being updated if you move to my fork details here https://github.com/wummle/arkos/wiki and video guide on how to update from final to my fork OTA here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9wxFIOhn4g

The current release as of this writing, build 20231201 ( =year-month-day; December 01 2023) for the X55 is here: https://github.com/JustEnoughLinuxOS/distribution/releases/download/20231201/JELOS-RK3566-X55.aarch64-20231201.img.gz

I have a RG353VS (non-android version) and I've installed JELOS 20230919, but it just won't recognize my second SD Card with roms.

I'm running Jelos 20230728, flashed to a new brand name microsd, and roms stored on another brand name microsd.

And finally, in addition to WuMMLe's Fork, your device is still supported with ongoing builds/updates by both AmberELEC and JELOS. They're a little bit different from ArkOS in that many emulator settings are accessed through EmulationStation submenus rather than via Retroarch itself, which can be quite convenient; AmberELEC builds come a little slower while JELOS builds come fairly frequently. Either is an excellent choice, but JELOS is a little more for the advanced user that isn't afraid to tinker a bit if a problem arises.

There is one other work around but it's not easy. This is a link that will explain. It's st the bottom of the 0603 update https://github.com/JustEnoughLinuxOS/distribution/releases/tag/20230603
